Last week I indicated that I would not provide the weekly sector report in the future. Given the feedback, I've elected to continue in a modified form–I will no longer prepare a chart book since this information is available on FINVIZ. I'll use this weekly post to highlight points of interest and to give you some links. While the job report delivered a disappointing number on Friday, the weekly sectors, except for banks, were positive. Healthcare (+3.17%) and Basic Resources (+4.13%) had strong showings. It is worth noting that Healthcare has been the worst performing sector over the last six months.
Here's a table of the sub-sectors that have the greatest short interest for the week:

I hope that you find this new format helpful in providing an overview in addition to giving you some exposure to tools that can aid your own variation of research. I wish you good trading this week.
